New LIRR president greets commuters amid morning delays

New Long Island Rail Road President Phillip Eng greeted commuters at the Mineola train station Tuesday morning, amid a myriad of delays and cancellations caused by Amtrak switch trouble at Penn Station.

The problem has since been resolved, but caused problems during the height of the morning commute.

Eng, a Smithtown resident, says he rides the rails every day as part of his two-hour commute and knows all too well how a rough ride can affect the day.

Sapphire is an adorable female Pit Bull who came to the shelter as a stray. Sapphire has a medical condition that can cause her to have seizures. She would prefer an owner who is home often to watch over her and shower her with love.

Anndi is a Spitz mix and approximately 5 years old. She is nervous of strangers at first but with some treats and slow movements, she comes around quickly. She does best with little male dogs, and no children.
